Rational RG flow, extension, and Witt class

11 Mar 2025, 15:30

Description

We propose a mathematical formulation of renormalization group flows to (two-dimensional) rational conformal field theories. It is given in terms of symmetry categories. Surprisingly, the formulation constrains infrared conformal dimensions mod 1/2. This claims discrete braiding structures jump at conformal fixed points under renormalization group flows. We apply the formulation to solve a flow from the E-type minimal model.
